autumn is the best time of the year for the Gramps/Araps, not too hot & generally more stable weather. But even if you go earlier in Feb there are plenty of shady crags/walls, it'll just be hotter & a little less comfortable The heat is dry - not humid like Seattle.
the only crowds you have to worry about is in the campground at Mt Buffalo on long weekends or Easter. But even then, the crags won't be crowded with climbers, just tourists in the campground. Cooler weather is better at Buffalo also, as there are lots of granite smearing slabs which are no fun in 30 deg temps. |
